      Decent work experience but poorly paid and not-so-positive culture - Events Assistant British Museum Employee Review

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Staff pass and free access (possible to request ICOM cards from HR and lots of reciprocal entries), networking. Obviously it's great to have the British Museum in your CV if you want to pursue a career in museums or the heritage sector so can be a good first step

      Cons

      Minimum pay, hours not guaranteed, no meals guaranteed event when working catered events (on the other hand, occasionally get very good meals), Events&Conferencing is a good department to work for but other departments are extremely toxic and "back of house" either ignores or actively disregards "front of house".

      Pros

      Learned a lot about the archival process Generally nice people Give you independence on doing the work yourself - not constantly followed around by a supervisor

      Cons

      No opportunity to grow after the first few weeks. you learn what you are going to do and then it is 8 weeks of the same thing.
